Correct. Rumor has it that he was once blind-folded and was able to smell the color touches in 9 out of 10 books. Impressive. He's like a bloodhound.

	Well 10% is better than 0% But it does highlight how subjective the process for identifying restored books is.

	Spotting color touch isn't subjective at all. It's there or it's not.

	How about simply shining a light under the cover,(upwards ,backwards I mean) etc, as light shines through will "pop" the touch ups..?

	I am not impressed with UV Blacklights. There are some things a UV Black light can reveal: Boogers Saliva Chalk Crayon Oil Pastel Crayons Oil paint Feces Body fluids (saliva, urine, semen) Food stains Duller discoloration spot (means nothing) Brighter discoloration spot (means nothing) Cleaner detergents Petroleum Jelly Salt Ketchup Vinegars What does NOT show up under UV Black Light Inspection: Blood Rust Kool-Aid Tea Coffee Mold Mildew Black Sharpie

	Well, what I gathered out of this thread is: UV light will at least let ya know if the original owner of the comic book washed their hands after going to the restroom before touching the comic.
